I just realized that I have never wrote an actual review on Nick's, my favorite Phoenix spot. Maybe it's the nostalgia? I've been coming here since High School. Maybe it's the casual, family owned atmosphere? No matter which location you visit, you'll most likely see Nick checking up on things. Most importantly, it's the consistency. No matter which location you choose, it all tastes great, every time.
For me, this is good Italian food, but in the American way. If you're looking for real Italy italian, you may choose another spot, but I find the typical Lasagna, Ravioli, Baked Zitti to be fantastic! I love their Bolognese, and if you notice on my profile, my last meal on earth would be their chicken parmesan with a side of spaghetti bolognese- each entree comes with a huge side of either fresh veggies or pasta. The portions are huge, so I love to eat some, and it's always even better the next day! Here are a few of my favorite dishes:
-Di Mare Salad (with grilled calamari like Gabi M says)
- Tilapia Picatta
- Chicken Ravioli (my best friend Natalie always tells me that if you get the Chicken tortellini, you actually get more!)
-Chicken Parm (note the above)
-Baked Ziti (have them add meatballs)
-Cannoli (I'm pretty sure I could spoon feed the filling like ice cream! Was that too much?)
Go to any one of their locations for a casual, quick Italian meal- I'm never disappointed!
